Freedom from Suffering – the Direct Path to Inner Peace

This fascinating and illuminating conversation – on freedom from suffering and the age-old search for happiness and inner peace – celebrates the publication of Rupert Spira's new book, You Are the Happiness You Seek.

Rupert and David Chuter, from Watkins Mind Body Spirit Magazine, dive deeply into topics like the illusion of self, the cause of unhappiness, the end of suffering, desire, meditation, religion, enlightenment, and the large-scale disillusionment, despair and conflict we currently face on a global scale. Together, they explore the remedy: freedom from wanting and seeking happiness through objects, substances, relationships and activities through the recognition that happiness and peace are the very nature of our being and are always available to us in the background of experience.

‘To find true happiness we have to go to that part in ourself which is prior to ourself as a temporary, finite self. We have to go so deeply into ourself that we penetrate through all the layers of experience that define us as a person – thoughts, images, feelings, activities, relationships, histories, memories – until we get to that irreducible essential element or part of ourself which is utterly intimate, but yet impersonal – it doesn’t share any of the qualities of ourself as a limited person. When we come to this place of pure being, that is the experience of peace and happiness. That is the source of happiness. Happiness is the nature of being.’

Live has the striving to live and experience itself as diverse as possible, no matter if as matter, never mind if as mind or whatever.

Mr. David Chuter comes off as incredibly neurotic. By today's standards completely normal, of course. I beckon thee to eschew normality and conformity. Nothing is possible without that most very basic ability.

great conversation! i just had a hard time following david. the audio quality and his way of formulating his thoughts made it rather straining to listen to.. at least for me.
